Re: mousewheels 2.4.x vs 2.6.x

Hi!
I have an A4Tech Optical Mouse.
It has 2 mousewheels.
Using same XF86Config-4:
On 2.4.x I can use both wheels.
On 2.6.x only the upper one.
Can anybody give me a clue where to start looking in order to fix this?
The answer was provided by Aivils Stoss.
I repeat it here for those who might encounter the same problem.
There is a program the reports all there is to report on events:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/linuxconsole/ruby/utils/evtest.c
It needs an event device as parameter. E.g. ./evtest /dev/input/event4
The program showed that the event device for the mouse in question did
not exist.
I did a mknod event4 c 13 68 and voilá.
Now I had to change XF86Config-4 to use evdev:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "evdev"
Option "Dev Phys" "usb-0000:00:07.2-2/input0"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0br"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7 4 5"
EndSection
That gives me vertical scrolling on the lower wheel. Horizontal ("Back"
and "Forward" on the upper wheel.
Works like a dream.
